Hello? Is there anybody ALIVE out there? Things are quiet in Springsteen country — too quiet. Sure, Bruce gave by all accounts a stunning performance at the MusiCares Bob Dylan tribute a few weeks back, but since...

When Bruce Springsteen pays tribute to Bob Dylan at the MusiCares Person of the Year concert in Los Angeles, it will be far from the first time — Bruce inducted Bob into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988 and...

Forty years ago today, Bruce Springsteen performed at the Main Point in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. This show was held as a benefit for the 270 seat coffee house and press reports suggest that Springsteen raised over...

“We Are The World,” the charity single to end all charity singles (except it didn’t), was recorded 30 years ago this week. It was an instant sensation when it was released that March, but less well-remembered is the...

Many thanks to Stephen Popkin (a.k.a. @nyconcertphoto on Instragram), who shared his stellar up-close-and-personal shots of Bruce Springsteen, Southside Johnny, Joe Grushecky and the rest of the crew at Light of Day...

Hello? Is there anybody ALIVE out there? Things are quiet in Springsteen country — too quiet. Sure, Bruce gave by all accounts a stunning performance at the MusiCares Bob Dylan tribute a few weeks back, but since it wasn’t televised it’s like it didn’t really happen. People are so desperate for some genuine...

Earlier this week we ran down our 10 most popular posts of 2014, and some of them were also among our favorites — 65 reasons to love Bruce Springsteen at 65, our casting of “Springsteen: The Movie” and our gallery showcasing readers’ Springsteen collections would all certainly make the cut. But there were...

Another year come and gone, and it was another busy one for Bruce Springsteen: He released an album (remember “High Hopes“?) and an EP, finished up several years of international touring, wrote (sort of) a children’s book, announced and released remastered versions of his first seven albums, started offering new...

What would Christmas week be like without Bruce’s Santa Claus is Coming to Town? I know for me, it wouldn’t be Christmas at all. So, as the eggnog chills, gingerbread cookies bake and presents wrap themselves, cozy up near the fire and watch a holiday dose of Springsteen performing holiday songs like only he can. And if...

It’s that time of year when critics of all stripes (present company included) are obligated, I believe by law, to go back over the year’s output and pick their annual “best of” lists. If it’s a year that a Springsteen album was released you can usually count on it popping up somewhere on the music...

Today was filled with surprises. First we learned during the afternoon that Bruce Springsteen would perform at the Bank of America (RED) World AIDS Day concert in Times Square. Then when it actually happens The Boss is the frontman for U2! If you missed the live stream you can watch the encore performance on YouTube. If...

Outlaw Pete, Bruce Springsteen and Frank Caruso’s children’s book rode into stores November 4th. The book is based on an eight-minute ballad from Springsteen’s 2009 ‘Working on a Dream’ album about a young bank robber who regrets his criminal ways. The tale and the song was inspired by memories of 1950s...

There’s no doubt that Bruce Springsteen continues to make relevant music, in addition to having one of the great back catalogs of all time. But that’s not to say his publicity and marketing arm couldn’t stand a good kick in the pants now and again. The Walmart greatest hits debacle of 2009 comes to mind. I don’t know if the...

Bruce Springsteen is rumored to be attending today’s Zombie Walk in Asbury Park, New Jersey. After conquering the worlds of children’s book authorship (Outlaw Pete) and acting (Lilyhammer), Springsteen is branching out, adding some horror makeup and practicing his zombie walk; something he perfected in Rochester, NY on...
